PlayStation Store Returns With Major Update

Finally things are back to normal (in the U.S. at least), the PlayStation store is up and running again after six weeks of being down as a result of the PSN hack. Its glorious return is marked by a ton of content being released that was meant to be spread out over the last month and a half.

True to their word, Sony will be updating the store multiple times a week for a while, with the next batch of content to be released this Friday. Sony also encourages users to "be sure to check back daily," as they'll be releasing "some special publishes" after the weekend during E3 week.

The 'Welcome Back' games and goodies Sony promised are unfortunately not available yet. According to Sony the pack is "currently in the final stages of testing and will be available to download soon."

A bunch of games have already been released in this update; Alien Crush, Bonk's Adventure, Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls, Sega Rally Online Arcade, Star Raiders, Red Johnson's Chronicles, Back to the Future: Episode 3, Dragon's Lair II: Time Warp, Bomberman '94, and Learning With Pooyoo's are all available to download right now with more on the way as time goes on.

Demo wise you can try inFamous 2, Red Faction: Armageddon, LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean, Motorstorm Apocalypse, The Fight: Lights Out, Star Raiders and more.

DLC includes the Honest Hearts add-on for Fallout: New Vegas, a ton of Rock Band songs, and other small things to buy.

PlayStation Plus users get some new freebies and get their old offers extended as well.

The full update listing can be found on the PlayStation Blog.
